Next meeting will be Wednesday, 14 May 2025 at 20:00
Come and join us at our next Viewfinders club meeting. It will be held at the Swedish church, 35 avenue des Gaulois, 1040 Brussels. The meeting will also be streamed live via Zoom, but only to paid-up members.
We will have a TTT on choice of lens, presented by Alun Foster and Joaquim Capitão. As the choice of lens depends on the genre of photography they are used for, we will have two photographers with experience on different genres explaining how they chose lenses in various situations.
The main event of the meeting will be ta presentation of photos from Viewfinders’ members. Priority will be given to photos during the recent club photo walks, but other photos will also be shown if time allows. This will be an excellent opportunity for all members of Viewfinders to find out about some of the activities organised by the club and to see the work of fellow members.
This will certainly be another interesting evening, an opportunity to meet fellow photographers and, hopefully, to be inspired to join future activities of the club and to go out and make photos.
Looking forward to seeing you at the club meeting on 14 May.
April 2025
We had a TTT on backup strategies, presented by Alun Foster.
The main event of the meeting was the second of this season's members’ challenges, on the theme of “Song titles”.
David Vannucci, was the guest judge for this challenge. David is a Belgian concert, festival and tour photographer based in Brussels and Lisbon, who was our guest speaker at the September 2024 Viewfinders meeting.
Unfortunately, David had to cancel at last minute so the dynamics of the voting were adapted for the evening. He was really looking forward to participate in this event, and an online video call with him will be organized in the coming days to allow to discuss and provide a critique on the photos that participated as well as presenting his winning choices for the challenge. Watch your email for details on the video call.

Our last meeting was....
March 2025
Club member Sabine Posdziech had a very interesting presentation on cyanotype, which she entitled “Printing with sunlight”. Cyanotype is a photographic printing method that produces monochrome, blue-coloured prints on different supports, being sensitive to ultraviolet and blue light spectrum. She briefly introduced the history of cyanotype and then described the process she uses to create beautiful blue prints from carefully selected photos. She also explained that, by washing the prints with products other than water different colours can be obtained. A copy of her presentation "Cyanotype Printing" can be found in the Tutorial Notes page.
The main event of the meeting was our guest speaker of the evening, Elke Pannier. Elke is a Belgian photographer and a photo editor in the Flemish daily newspaper De Standaard. She talked about her work as a photo editor and presented her latest personal project, “Heartland”. This is a documentary project about the borders of the Dutch Bible Belt, an area straddling between tradition and innovation.
She also described her work as a photo editor in a major Flemish newspaper, describing the tasks of a photo editor, the choice and the sources of the photos which are published, including the differences between photos for the printed newspaper and those for the website or app.
